>> was there a purpose you had in mind that might make Sandy more helpful?
Most of my tasks include one or more files.
"Add picture to website" (attached image)
"Update spreadsheet" (attached xls)
"Add George to member list" (attached PDF of application)
The more centralization a PIM can offer, the more useful it is. Perhaps a file attachment could be stored in a related table referencing the TaskID. Reminders would not include the attachment but include a link to download them. Forgetting the task would cascade delete the associated attachment/s.
ex:
To: Sandy
Interview John Smith this Friday at 2pm @JobApplication
<< attachment: JohnSmith.doc >>
Going with the "personal assistant" analogy, a crucial function of an assistant is filing "papers" and retrieving them when asked. Perhaps Sandy could be taught to understand "file" as well as "remember".
ex: I want Sandy to file resumes that were sent to me
To: Sandy
File John Smith @Resume @Sales
<.doc or .pdf attached>
<later>
To: Sandy
Look up @Sales @Resume
<email>

As michele stated, general attachments.
P.S. the iCal attachments do not appear to work with Outlook 2000. -

This is an advanced feature that I would like as well. I'm guessing this is on the feature wish list and (I hope) will be implemented in the future. (I'm a user, not an employee) -

AttachmentsCan attachments be sent back with the reminder? I tried but it didn't come back.
The userguide says:
"When you make me part of an email conversation, I will automatically email the other recipients (anyone else in the To: or Cc: fields), with appointments, to-dos, contacts, or bookmarks you had me create (attachments too!)." -
